Trauma changes everything — how you think, how you react, and how you see yourself. But it doesn’t have to define your future. In this powerful episode, Rico and BriAnn open up about what it means to move from survival mode to rebuilding a life of purpose. Rico shares how he earned his CDL while incarcerated — not just as a way to find work, but as the first step in reclaiming his identity. Together, they unpack what trauma really is, how it shows up in everyday life, and the moment you begin to take your power back. 💙 Whether you’re a first responder, veteran, or someone simply trying to find healing after hardship — this conversation will remind you that you are not broken, you are becoming. ✨ Listen now and take the first step toward your own transition. ⸻ 🔗 Show Notes / Links: 💙 Support the mission: Donate to the William H. “Bill” Butler Jr. Foundation (https://www.8158podcast.com/donate) 🌐 Website: https://www.8158podcast.com 🎙 Be a guest: https://8158podcast.com/contact-us 📢 Exclusive content: http://Patreon.com/8158podcast
